Washington. July 9, What la cer tain to be a factor of Interest, and probably of Importance, In the pres- ldentlal campaign this year la the .1 Independence league party. This or . - ganlzatlon, which U reparded aa the i ; corporate manifestation of the po lemical activities of William Randoph ' Hearst, will enter national politics ifor the first time when it holds its I 'national convention at Indianapolis on. July 27. The Independence league has proved to be a potent factor in --state and local politics in every state where. Mr. Hearst has a newspaper Massachusetts, New York. Illinois and California. Its first venture on the open eeas of national politics will be watched with interest. History ehowa that no third party movement In the United States haa aver been auccessful aa an organiza tion. In other words, no third party haa ever attained dominant, or even .aeoond, position In national affairs. On the other hand moat of the third party movements have served to bring for ward some political doctrine which haa later been adopted by one or me two big parties. 'i'nira panics iiuvh ur quently held the balance of power in presidential electlona, and the asplra Iinna o more than one candidate nave been wrecked upon the breakers of the third party vote. SCr.

It waa the old fight or city against the up-state. Tnm tnniiy hall joined the reformers and the new party hnd phenomenal auccessea In the city and In portion of the elate. It attempted to control the general assem bly, with the result that thre were tm-o In the aame legislative organization haul. The old linn loader turned out TV.rn la alvavi ment at work. New one come and old ones go, but there Is always such an lament In the Political world. Mr. trnrftt'a nartv is of unusual Interest, because or ite peuuimr uiem- wi of party government by charter of incorporation.

Its vote Have changed tha result of state elec- rovernor of New York state. Its votes tions n Massachusetts and -California r'.: its Influence in Chicago politics has - been great. What It- will do In lta first national campaign is a great big Question. . . Only four times in the history of the country haa a third party canal dlate succeeded In gaining any votea - In the electoral colleges. In 1832 the Anti-Masons carried Vermont and gave . eight votes for William Wirt; in 1868 the Know-Nothings carried Maryland and arave eiirht votes for Millard f ill more; In 1860 the Constitutional Union r party carried Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. . aivlng 89 votes to John ; Bell. Since the civil war there haa : been but one Instance, that of 1882, when the Populists carried Kansas, Col orado, Nevada and Idaho, and one voto each In North Dakota and Oregon, glv- i lng 22 votes to James B. Weaver, t - Early Movement. Tbo first third party made Its ap t eearance soon after the division be- tween Democrats and Federalists be cam well defined. It gloried in the name of "Quid Tertlum." This "third - something" was a revolt against the Democrata as led by Jefferson and Mad ison, and was led by the brilliant John Randolph of Boanoke. It waa organ ized in 1805. Three years later. Just a i century ago. It nominated James Mon . roe for president against James Madi son. The movement collapsed before " the elections, and Monroe was there Ji after a good enough Democrat to be -twice elected president. - the next third party movement was the result of popular agitation against the Masons and other secret societies. - It grew out of the mysterioua dlaap- -pearance of William Morgan of Batavla, New York, for which Masons were held " responsible by sensational gossips. Pol iticians who feared the rising sun of 'Andrew Jackson's power attempted to . .form a party which would carry them to victory, based on this idea. No. other : 'third party In history boasts so many ., ; distinguished names In the list of Its n organizers and supporters. There were - Ttrurlow Weed, William H, Seward, -Millard Fillmore, Thaddeus Stevens. Salmon P. Chase, John McLean and ,Willlain Wirt. It had the moral aup ; port of the great senatorial triumvirate, Webster, Clay and Calhoun, although r 'they were never committed to Its doc ; trlnes. Clay waa a Mason and waa . willing to use the party to strike Jack . i son. but he could not take part In Its propaganda. The Aatl-Maaonlo Party. The Anti-Masonic party carried aev eral state elections, sent many mem bers to congress and for a time seemed ' to be a live proposition. It carried but one state for Its presidential candidate . In 1SS!, and very soon thereafter sunk to lta death. It has the distinction of having orlginatd the delfgated nomi nating convention, soon adopted by all tne lights. 1 he hiqual Rights men re lighted them with locofooo'" matches then a novelty. Thut gave them the name Tocofoco. Tho Democratic1 party throughout the nation was affected bv the movement, and In later yeara the Whigs derisively called all Democrats "loeofocoes. The antl-Cathnllc sentiment has sev eral times manifested itself In a po litical movement. Tha demands made for a division of tliu public school funds between Protestants and Catho lics In the thirties started the first, which took the name of the "national Democratic organization." There was no national movement until IMS, and Its first candidate for president was Zarharv Taylor, nominated by tho "Na tive American party." In 1Mb. Aa Gen eral Taylor was also nominated by tho Whigs it was not an Independent move ment. ' Know Hotfclaflam. In 1SB8 this movement reappeared In the form of a seoret organization. When its adherents were askod about lta plans or principles, the unvarying answer was, "I know nothing about It." Whereupon the name "Know Nothing" was applied to the party. It "plumped" votea for tta favSrlte candidate of the old partlea and spread consternation over the country. It made some won derful campaigns In state and local elections, but waa always unsuccessful In national affairs. In 1866 Its candi date, Fillmore, was Indorsed by the remnant of the Whlgs, which probably accounts for the success In Maryland. In IStfO the party look the name of Constitutional Union and carried three states; not by virtue of lta doctrines, but because It was the only haven of refuge for the Whigs of tho border states who could stomach neither Dem ocrats nor Republicans. It was the "know nothing" sentiment which caused the Republicans to pre fer Lincoln to Seward In 1880. It .1610 .1400 .1870 . 930 . 600 . 666 . 400 126 made another appearance In the west and south about 16 years ago under tho name the "American Protective Asso ciation." Since the war It has had no expression In natolnal politics. The effect of the third rjartv vote upon presidential contests is sometimes telling. In 1844 the Abolition vote In New York, small as It was, carried the state for Polk by taking away support irom ciay, tnus losing tne presidency for the "great pacificator." In 1848 the Free Soil vote In Pennsylvania had the effect of electing Taylor over Cass. If the antl-Democratlc vote In Penn sylvania In 1856 had not been divided Dy tne candidacy Of Fillmore there is little doubt that Fremont would have carried the state and gained the White Houbb. oiaer organisation. Since the war the notable third party movements have been those of the Pop ulist and Prohibitionists. In 1884 the Prohibitionists polled 25,616 votes In New York, mostly from the Republic ans. Cleveland s plurality over Blaine was only 1,149, so It has been asserted that the "Prohl" vote defeated Blaine. Four yfears later a change of 6,602 votes In New York would have defeated Har rison. The Prohibitionists polled over 80,000 votes in the state that year. The Socialist party movement has shown a steady gain. Debs' vote Jump ing from 87,000 In 1-900 to over 400,000 In 1904. This movement Is quite dlf-j ferent from other third party efforts. however, In that It alms at complete revolution of the whole system of gov ernment, rather than at a specific re form of legislation or administration. 1 t is the only party which stands se verely alone, and It Is more European than American In organization and methods. Not slnoe 1892 haa a third party can didate become an Important feature of the presidential campaign. The Inde pendence party may furnish plenty of excitement In the race which Is Just be ginning. There Is no doubt but that the leaders of both old parties are much In terested In the movements of Mr. Hearst and his followers. Upon the outcome of the Indianapolis convention may depend the election In November. Her Dearest Friend.

Although this young lady re sides In a small town she has started at once to take advantage of the ex tremely productive surrounding towns and will extend her canvass as far as is neoessary to lead In her district. Wi hope to see Miss McKinney do even bet ter work as the contest progresses and I sne win no douot make a rirst rate run. Ralph Bobnett, second In the list, has done some very hard work considering the fact that he entered some few days later than other contestants. He Is raaklnet a very strong and active Can vass tfrrouehout the city of Portland and is meeting with good success. He tells us that everyone wants to help a Journal scholarship contestant, and he expects that some of his promises will a little later run up his score so that ne will lead over all other contest ants. Coos County Contestant. Ray Haines of Myrtle Point makes a tool showing in third place and has a backing of the southern part of Coos county. He will also draw considerable from Curry county. The low vote polled by some of the contestants is no criterion or tne result of the contest, as somo of the wozkera had only started In the campaign a few days before. The next score may change the aspect of the whole standing. The 0 U O ISNTIT?

The reductions are especially strong, because based on regular prices which are famously low for shoes of such high quality. Our store is less than a year old we have not a single old-style 6hoe in our entire stock.

The lota are made up of many of our best styles on which demand has been particularly heavy this season; in a few instances the aires are badly broken.
